A strong link between the TF1 group and the Grégory Lemarchal association

"It's important because TF1 has always been with us from the start. For 15 years, they have always helped us to advance the schmilblick", explains to Europe 1 Pierre Lemarchal, Grégory's father.

"In this type of association, we always need the media. And as long as we can have them, it's exceptional. We are lucky to have a heartfelt partnership with the TF1 group. It's a loyalty that touches us, they have always responded."

“For the tenth anniversary of the association, we did a prime time show which allowed us to collect 2.2 million euros in donations,” he recalls.

"This sum allowed us to build a reception center in Rueil-Malmaison, a project that the association had had for a long time. The interest is also to explain to people what we do with their money."
